--- Comment #2 from Shinjo Park <kde at peremen.name> ---
As I didn't stored any Korean text in CP949 and made everything UTF-8 since
decades ago, even I was not fully aware of the situation...

Not only for typo or character in composition, but also for some proper names
and newly invented words.

According to https://icu4c-demos.unicode.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=windows-949
it seems true. To make thing more worse, one of the alias (KSC_5601) is shared
between CP949 and EUC-KR internally in ICU (see
https://icu4c-demos.unicode.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=euc-kr). As CP949 is a
superset of EUC-KR, most Korean implementations interchangeably use them, this
is somewhat reflected even in the WHATWG
(https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#names-and-labels). So I think it is just a
matter of naming.
